  • "Alternative to VLC Ive used and loved VLC for
    years but lately its been choking and dying for
    no discernible reason and attempts to
    troubleshoot have failed. Sadly I have to move on
    to some VLC alternatives. Are there any other
    media players better than VLC or comparable
    alternatives to VLC media player?"
  • As one of the most popular media players in the
    world, VLC media player gains great reputation
    for its excellent service in movie playback.
    However, with the the arising of Blu-ray and
    copyright protection policies, VLC media player
    currently couldnt remain to be the first choice
    for home movie enjoyment. Many people are trying
    to find a VLC player alternative, or even some
    player thats better than VLC media player.
  • This post would share with you different VLC
    alternatives. It should be noted that some of
    these VLC alternatives may require you to install
    3rd-party add-ons. You need to determine whether
    or not you would like to switch your VLC to them.

Part 1 5 Alternatives to VLC Media Player for
Windows
  • 1. Leawo Free Blu-ray Player
  • Leawo Free Blu-ray Player is an all-inclusive
    movie player freeware that could play back all
    kinds of movies, like Blu-ray, DVD, 4K movies,
    1080P videos, ISO image file and even movie
    audios. As a region free Blu-ray player software
    program, it could help you easily play back the
    latest released Blu-ray discs without quality
    loss. Its also a free DVD player to play DVD
    discs/folders, an ISO player to directly play
    back ISO files, a free video player to play up to
    1080P HD videos and a free audio player to play
    even DTS-5.1 audio in lossless quality.

  • 2. RealPlayer
  • RealPlayer is a popular media player over the
    Internet. It supports various popular formats
    including WMV, WMA FLV, AVI, MP3, MP4, 3GP and
    more. In addition to this, it can convert your
    video files into different formats and download
    streaming content online, Whats more, you can
    share your clips with friends on Facebook. But if
    you want to get more features, you should pay
    49.99 to get the RealPlayer Plus 16.

  • 3. KMPlayer
  • KMPlayer would be a good VLC alternative when you
    are looking for a bit more enhanced software for
    your PC. One of the major reasons that made KM
    Player popular is its support for a wide range of
    formats, such as MKV, OGG, 3GP and FLV etc. And,
    in general, those who have tried KMPlayer have
    somewhat been forced to stick onto the player, as
    KM Player offers a lot, for both common and
    advanced movie freaks. KMPlayer supports 3D
    Movies, though it does not consume that much
    system resources and you can even turn non-3D
    movies into 3D ones, if you have a 3D glass with
    you.

  • 4. SMPlayer
  • This VLC alternative is free and powerful enough
    to handle almost all of your videos, regardless
    of format. It comes with all the codecs it needs
    bundled in. It has a built-in ability to remember
    where you left off in a movie, and what settings
    you were using, so you can pick right up where
    you left off. SMPlayer is built on MPlayer, so if
    youve used it before, youll be familiar with
    SMPlayer. You can download subtitles for your
    film, and you can search for and watch YouTube
    videos on SMPlayer, too. There are cool filters
    you can test out, and you can change the playback
    speed in case youre out of time but you want to
    finish the movie.

  • 5. Media Player Classic
  • Media Player Classic is designed to be a compact,
    no-frills sort of program, yet it does pretty
    much everything youd expect from a media player.
    It works straight from installation without
    requiring any additional codec packs, except
    maybe for the most obscure formats. Its
    extremely lightweight and uses very few resources
    while playing. It supports VCD, SVCD and DVD
    playback, and with the support of DirectShow, it
    could play media files in a vast array of video
    format families including AVI, MPEG, MKV, MP4,
    MOV, FLV, RM, WMV, MP3, AAC, FLAC, and a whole
    lot more.

Part 2 5 Alternatives to VLC Media Player for Mac
  • 1. Leawo Free Blu-ray Player for Mac
  • Similar to its Windows version, Leawo Free
    Blu-ray Player for Mac offers multiple media
    playback solutions for totally free. It could
    work as region-free Blu-ray player (4K Blu-ray
    disc supported), free HD video player (up to 4K),
    free DVD player, free music player, and free ISO
    file player. You could select subtitles and audio
    tracks from source media files, or even add
    external subtitles. The support of audio decoding
    systems like Dolby, DTS, AAC, TrueHD, DTS-HD,
    etc. delivers cinema like movie experience at
    home with your Mac computer.

  • 2. MPlayerX
  • MPlayerX is another open-source Mac video player
    that is quite similar to VLC. Itll play a wide
    range of video and audio files (again without the
    need for any additional codecs or software) and
    has a few other hidden features, such as
    multi-touch and Apple Remote support. The
    interface is based on that of QuickTimes with
    the same minimal approach and one feature I love
    about MPlayerX is the bookmark feature which
    remembers where you played up to last time
    something which I think every video player should
    have.

  • 3. Movist
  • Movist is a free, simple yet powerful player for
    Mac. It supports QuickTime, FFmpeg as well as
    subtitles. It is easy to use and available to
    adjust aspect ratios and configure keyboard
    shortcuts. It could even encode Quicktime and
    FFmpeg on the fly.

11
  • 4. Miro
  • Miro is an open-source media player with a
    built-in torrent client and an interface that has
    taken a few leaves out of the iTunes book.
    Although it wont play media files different to
    any other media player, it has a built-in video
    converter with tons of presets (including for the
    iPhone and iPad). You can also share your media
    files over your local network with anyone who
    also has Miro installed and theres an iPad
    version in the works, which promises the ability
    to stream and transfer videos and music to it.

  • 5. QuickTime
  • As the default media player of Mac computer,
    QuickTime is without doubt a wonderful
    alternative to VLC media player for Mac users to
    play movies. You dont need to install 3rd-party
    media players. However, if you want to play
    movies in different formats like WMV and MKV,
    youd better install a QuickTime player plugin
    like Perian. Otherwise QuickTime player may fail
    to recognize WMV/MKV videos.

    Leawo Free Blu-ray Player is the best alternative
    to VLC media player, performing even better than
    VLC.
